Masonry Waterproofing & Specialty Coatings
Invisible Protection. Breathable Durability.
Masonry is naturally porous, acting like a hard sponge that absorbs moisture during rain and snow. Without proper protection, this moisture leads to freeze-thaw damage, efflorescence, and interior leaks. Our specialty coating services provide a high-performance barrier that shields your structure from the elements while ensuring the long-term health of your masonry.
The Science of "Breathable" Protection
The key to successful waterproofing is vapor transmission. A common mistake in masonry care is using "sealer" that creates a plastic-like film, trapping moisture inside the wall and causing the brick face to pop off (spalling).
We utilize advanced silane and siloxane penetrants that chemically bond with the substrate. These treatments are "hydrophobic," meaning they repel liquid water from the outside but allow water vapor to escape from the inside, preventing structural decay and mold growth.
Our Specialized Treatment Options
We offer a variety of technical solutions tailored to the specific density and condition of your building’s materials:
- Water Repellent Penetrants: Invisible treatments that soak deep into the masonry. They do not change the look or color of the building but provide a powerful shield against wind-driven rain.
- Masonry Consolidation: For aging or "soft" stone and brick, we apply consolidants that strengthen the internal structure of the material, essentially "re-gluing" the masonry together at a molecular level.
- Elastomeric Coatings: For surfaces with fine hairline cracks, these coatings provide a flexible, waterproof membrane that stretches and moves with your building.
- Anti-Graffiti Coatings: Specialized sacrificial or permanent barriers that allow for easy removal of spray paint without damaging the underlying masonry.
